Body Changes

"You're about to take your graduation exams, and you can still sleep? At this stage, you can still sleep? Do you have any ambition at all?!"

Wang Jinsheng looked at Feng Qi with an expression of utter disappointment.

Feng Qi was his most prized student. Wang Jinsheng had placed great hopes on his future, yet he had never expected Feng Qi to fall asleep during his class.

After berating him, Wang Jinsheng opened his textbook and said solemnly:

"Tell me, what year did World Reformation Day begin?"

Looking at the furious History Teacher Wang, Feng Qi's mind raced. Fortunately, he had already memorized this material and would not embarrass himself now.

After pondering for a moment, the relevant information surfaced in Feng Qi's mind:

"The world's reformation began five hundred years ago, specifically on May 31st, 1523. On that day, Domain Fields appeared across the world. Creatures that had existed only in myths descended within the Domains, and humanity faced an unprecedented challenge..."

World Reformation Day was a question every graduate had to face every year.

Because that day had changed the landscape of the human world.

According to records, all kinds of Domain Fields had descended across the world that day. Small Domains covered only ten square meters, while large Domain Fields could even engulf an entire city.

All kinds of terrifyingly powerful monsters descended within the Domains, and the humans unfortunate enough to be covered by a Domain Field were plunged into a nightmare.

For example, five hundred li east of Star City, where Feng Qi lived, there had once been a modern city three hundred years ago. It was unfortunately swallowed by a suddenly descending Domain Field. Most of the humans in the city were devoured by the Domain Creatures that had descended alongside it. Only a tiny number managed to escape the Domain and survive.

Faced with the sudden crisis of Domain invasion, various nations had taken extreme measures. They had once bombarded Domain Fields with Nuclear Weapons, hoping to flatten everything inside.

But the facts proved that Nuclear Weapons were nearly useless against Domain Fields and did not weaken or eliminate them in the slightest.

Left with no other choice, humanity could only temporarily abandon the areas covered by Domains.

Fortunately, the bloodthirsty creatures within Domain Fields were restricted by unknown factors and rarely left the areas covered by the Domains. That was why humanity had survived peacefully until now without facing extinction.

But everyone knew that these peaceful days were only temporary.

Because the "Domains" spread across the world were slowly expanding, and one day they would engulf the entire world.

To fight the Domain invasion, nations actively exchanged intelligence and began studying the "Domain Creatures" hunted by Technological Weapons. They tried to find their weaknesses and seek a sliver of hope for humanity's future.

During tireless research, scholars discovered that the air contained a miraculous substance that had appeared alongside the Domains. This substance drifted through the air and was extremely difficult to capture. The reason the monsters within the Domains were so powerful was closely related to the abundant special substance contained in their bodies.

At the time, researchers proposed that if this special substance were implanted into the human body, perhaps humans could become as powerful as Domain Creatures.

The experimental results proved that the special substance could strengthen humans as well.

This discovery was undoubtedly a major breakthrough. Since technology could not defeat Domain Creatures, humanity ultimately decided to fight magic with magic.

The research team that first discovered this miraculous substance named it "spirit energy."

Over the following centuries, generations of human scholars devoted their lives to developing many Cultivation Methods capable of absorbing the spirit energy of heaven and earth.

Thus began the era of human evolution.

Cultivation Academies were established one after another, and the main direction of human development shifted from developing the economy during the age of peace to a new era in which everyone practiced martial arts.

Relying on Cultivation Methods, more and more powerful individuals capable of contending with Domain Creatures emerged across the world.

By now, many small Domain Fields had been destroyed and dispersed from within by powerful humans. Yet in the struggle against Domain Creatures, countless human pioneers had also paid with their lives.

And Feng Qi was one of the current graduates about to finish high school and enter an academy.

In a few days, he would take his graduation exams. If his grades were outstanding, he could enter his ideal Cultivation Academy.

After graduating, he would have the chance to join the Technique Research Institute within an academy, or form or join a combat squad that roamed the various Domain Fields and become a warrior.

After listening to Feng Qi's account, Wang Jinsheng's expression finally softened somewhat.

"Now explain what happened just now."

"Maybe I've been too exhausted from studying lately. I've had this indescribable feeling of fatigue. I think I may have fainted just now, so I didn't hear you calling me." As he spoke, Feng Qi frowned and rubbed his temples.

After staring suspiciously at Feng Qi for several seconds, Wang Jinsheng's expression eased. He turned to Mo Fei, who sat beside Feng Qi, and said:

"Mo Fei, accompany Feng Qi to the infirmary. The exams are almost here, so don't let anything go wrong with his health!"

Mo Fei immediately nodded obediently.

After leaving the classroom, Mo Fei looked at Feng Qi curiously and asked:

"Madman, what happened to you today? I twisted you so hard and still couldn't wake you up. Is there really something wrong with your body?"

"I don't know. Maybe I've been under too much pressure lately. Let's go to the infirmary and get checked first."

A moment later, Feng Qi and Mo Fei arrived at the school infirmary.

The infirmary was simply furnished. Three hospital beds stood on the right side of the room, while shelves on the left were filled with all kinds of medical supplies. There was also a small partition in the middle, and it was empty inside.

Just then, the door was pushed open again.

A graceful figure walked in. She was around 1.68 meters tall, slender, and exquisitely beautiful.

She wore a loose white coat and strode toward Feng Qi with a stormy expression. Then she turned and punched Mo Fei in the stomach, making him bend over with a pale face.

"Didn't I tell you not to come to the infirmary unless there's something wrong? How many times has this been!"

"My brother's sick. There really is something wrong this time!" Even after being hit, Mo Fei forced a smile through the pain, though it looked worse than crying.

Watching from the side, Feng Qi immediately imagined some melodramatic story about a hopeless simp unable to win over the goddess of his dreams.

Otherwise, why wasn't he fighting back?

She really was pretty, but if she hit me, I'd grab her by the hair and knee her in the face, then throw her over my shoulder. I'd haul her back up and make her stand properly, then spin around and knock her down with a roundhouse kick. Finally, I'd leap up and smash my elbow into her face. KO.

If she still had any breath left, I'd follow up with a sliding tackle critical hit.

After hearing Mo Fei's explanation, the woman turned to Feng Qi, her expression softening.

"Hello, classmate. I'm the new school doctor, Chen Youzi. Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Feng Qi thought for a moment and said somewhat awkwardly:

"I had a very realistic nightmare just now. It felt like I was actually there. I could even smell the scents in the dream. Do I have some kind of mental problem?"

Chen Youzi remained very calm upon hearing this.

After all, with the exams approaching, students were under immense pressure. In her eyes, abnormalities in either their bodies or minds were perfectly normal.

She had even seen students strip naked and run around the Training Field before college entrance exams to vent their emotions, so nightmares were only a minor issue.

"Lie down on the bed. I'll give you a full-body examination."

Hearing this, he immediately nodded and lay down on one of the infirmary beds. Chen Youzi then walked into the partition and activated the main console.

As he waited, the metal sphere above the bed slowly opened. Lights crisscrossed within it, and various medical instruments for physical examinations were arranged neatly inside.

Under Chen Youzi's control, the instruments began operating, and metal arms extended downward.

A series of physical examinations began.

Electrocardiogram, blood pressure, blood test, resting heart rate, blood pressure, lung function... After the examination ended, a report slowly emerged from the console.

Picking up the report, Chen Youzi began reviewing Feng Qi's physical condition.

A moment later, Chen Youzi turned to the worried Feng Qi and said:

"Your physical condition is excellent. There are no problems at all. It was probably caused by too much pressure lately. Just make sure you rest properly while studying, and you'll be fine."

As she spoke, Chen Youzi handed the examination report to Feng Qi.

Feng Qi let out a long sigh of relief and took the report.

That dream had been so realistic that he had genuinely worried he might have developed some kind of mental illness, such as delusions.

He glanced down at the report and was about to crumple it up and toss it into the nearby trash can when his gaze fell on "Bloodline Strength." The recorded value left Feng Qi frozen.

Bloodline Strength (Feng Qi): 13

"How is that possible?" Feng Qi looked stunned.

Just one day ago, the Bloodline Strength value from his physical examination had still been "03."

During that time, he had not consumed any expensive spirit liquid or Spirit Pills, so there was no reason for his Bloodline Strength to have risen so rapidly in such a short period.

Yet the data on the report showed that his Bloodline Strength had somehow increased by 1.

A value of 1 might seem small, but in the past, raising his Bloodline Strength by 1 required half a month of high-intensity training, along with sufficient nutrition throughout.

This strange increase made him think of the one Bloodline Evolution Point he had received after killing the Living Dead in his dream.

Could it really be related to that strange dream?
